Where can I buy a magnifying glass the size of a credit card for
reading with built in light that I saw advertised on TV in San
Francisco in September 2002.

Do you want the particular device you saw advertised, or will any such device do?

I believe this to be the Pop-Light Magnifier. It is in a small
rectangular case roughly the size of a credit card. You press the
buttons to eject the lens. It provides a light for illumination and
takes 2 AAA batteries.

You can view a large picture of the Pop-Light Magnifier and purchase
it online for $7.99 at the following link:

Here is the description of the magnifier from the UltraOptix site:

safe from scratching. Press both buttons to eject lens. Press again

UltraOptix is a large distributor of hand held magnifiers and can be

I hope this has helped.
